Hi guys the interior of my car is discusting. This car, especially the interior plastics can't of been cleaned for years.
I have tried a few degrease cleaners. But don't do anything.
I have used our vax steamer, which works but you do about 10cm cleaning for every 20 minutes. Does anyone know a good deep dirt plastics cleaner. That us also safe to use in car. See pic.

Unfortunately that’s the twist grey soft touch paint coming off! revealing the plastic underneath.
Elbow grease diluted correctly is one of the best , from home bargains I think

Hi kp
I don't think it is. You can scrape off with my finger. It's black coming off too.
 
Keith is right, its the soft-touch coming off. You can use nail varnish remover to soften it and then a scouring pad to remove.

Elbow grease (the product) is excellent for cleaning interior plastics.
 
Oh yes it is!!!!! The well known utterly horrible special paint used by Audi back in the day. It goes all sticky and horrible and I have found the remedy is bog standard methelated spirit and patience coupled with enthusiasm. Don't be tempted to use anything harsher.

Best of luck.
 
You have by the look of it a Swing Grey interior - which is THE worst out of all of them for failing soft touch on the plastics for some reason - as others have said, it's 100% the soft touch coming off. Is it sticky to touch also?

My advice if you like the car and want to improve the appearance would be to order all new plastic pieces from Audi tradition, or repaint them all with Volico paint.
